I need help! I had my RNY on 12/11/18 weighing 216.5 at time of surgery. The first few days I lost down to 207. Now a few days later after starting the soft diet I have gained to 215.4. My typical diet is either 1 scrambled egg sprinkled with cheese or 1 Premier Protein for breakfast, 1-2 T cottage cheese or 1Premier Protein for lunch, and 2 T refried beans for supper, also water, sf Popsicles and Isopure inbetween. I have missed a couple doses of calcium, however I am quite regular with vitamins and supplements. What am I doing wrong?!?

Couple issues came to mind: constipation and water retention.

Every time I get constipated, my weight goes up. When I don't drink enough water - my body tries to retain any liquid I drink. Drinking plain water, or herbal or a weak green tea helps me "lose weight".

It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. I'm surprised you can digest the scrambled eggs so soon out, but otherwise it looks fine. Make sure you're getting your fluids in, take some Miralax, and try to relax. I'll bet your weight starts dropping very soon!

Look into using a smart scale that measures your weight, bmi, bone density, water weight, and fat.

It will make this journey so much easier if you know what number went up.

Get on the scale everyday and always know your numbers, all of them.

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
